Corrigendum to interim report tabled in October 2020
Correction to paragraph 5.18 on page 87 of the report:
Omit:
Mr James Steel, President, Family Law Practitioners Association of Queensland
described how delays are a major factor in driving elevated legal costs:
… reducing delays in the court system will greatly improve and lower the costs that the parties are being required to pay. Delays mean more interim applications, multiple family reports inherent in cases often being required, updated subpoenas inherent in cases often being required, updated valuations being required in property matters and updated subpoenas in property matters.
Amend to read:
